After four great years at Oregon Community Credit Union, first as their Information Security Officer and then as Director of IT, I'm returning to consulting and writing. I've got some really interesting work lined up and am excited to dig in.

This blog, though, is looking a bit tired. I'll have to think about redoing the design at some point.

If you would like to get a hold of me, my email address consists of these elements:

Dedication

My grandfather had a wonderful shop in his basement. To me, it was a place of mystery and fascination, and I would spend hours wandering through it, looking at all the tools and projects in various states of completion. Not being much of a wood worker, I've never had the need for such a shop (not to mention that I lack a basement), but recently it occurs to me that my gear, computers, and software are my shop. This site is for my late grandfather and everyone else who takes personal pride in carefully executed work.
